What True Merit VIII Do.

The unprecedented sale of BoSchee'S Ger
man Syrup within few years has aston
ished the world. 1t is without doubt tie
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs.
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doctors
bills and long spell of serious illness.
A trial will convince you of these facts. 1t
is positively sold by all druggists and gen.
eral dealers in the land. Price, rs cents,
large bottles.

Upon some quiet evening, as the curtain
of night falls silently around us, we mark
the stars becoming visible in increasing
numbers until the sky is gemmed with
points of light And as the wondrous
thought comes to us that these points of
light are worlds, many of them larger
than the earth on which We live, an awe
steals over us-an awe, but not dread.
No for as we look on the fresh evidence of
Gods majesty in creation, words, familiar
words, rise to our lips, The heavens de-
clare the glory of God, and the armament
showeth His handiwork." And once
again our voices are hushed and our
thoughts are busy as we gaze upon those
silent worlds i'll the far distance of the
voiceless sky. Old, old questions present
themselves TO our musing. What is the pur-
pose of these worlds of God-do they con-
tain fresh evidences of His creative energy,
existences conscious and intelligent, though
different in their nature from those with
which we are familiar? And how does
the Incarnation affect such creations, if
such indeed there be? Thoughts such as
these will rise within our minds, but no
answer comes to us through the night, and
the dawn brings with il no reply. All
terry of their creation. And yet there is a
word which they speak-an anthem OF
praise 10 their Maker, which they offer in
the rhythmical regularity of their ordered
movement, for
Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language;
Their voice cannot be heard

ture. II was favorably situated on a river
in BGotia, about thirteen miles from The
bes, and between forty and Iifty mics
northeast of Athens. That art fiourished
there at very early period we have every
evidence. Dicearchus. writing about three
centuries before our era, describes the
city as having houses highly decorated and
painted. Its temple of Dionysius con-
tanned many beautiful statues, and it could
boast of other fine temples. of a theater
and gymnasium. But even had Greek
and Latin literature been silent in regard to
Tanagra, careful inspection of the figur-
ines would amply attest to its civilization
and advancement in arts. This branch of
the Greek art has not been known to the
modern world many years. If remem-
Der rightly, the first terra Gotta figures of
this nature were unearthed not more than
fifteen or sixteen years ago. The supply is
now said TO be exhausted, though the an
tiquarian market will continue to be del
uged with limitations from the workshops
of Athens and Patras. Thousands of
tombs have been unearthed at Tanagra,
and the site of that once beautiful city now
bears some resemblance to the gold dig
gings OF the Sierra foothills, where the hill
sides have been washed away that they
may yield up their treasure.

going with this little wagon half u mile TO
where the bark had fallen from the rails
along a fence. and of gathering this bark
and hauling it home to make light every
night that | might study or read. The
idea that a boy should have a candle by
which TO pursue his studies was not
thought of.
This handling Of the bark was my own
idea. and my own venture entirely. After

piece after piece on the Goals, as needed, to

that the man who is now the leading nov

much the same thing, and that the most OF
the reading and study that fitted HowellS
for his first work in literature was done
by freight.
